Took my 8 year old out today. What a blast. Her first time in a DONZI. First it was "not too fast". Then it was faster and the we had to start flying the hull and chasing 550' Ferries around. (within reason with her on board) Kill switch attached. She would have nothing to do with the no wake zones around Marinas, so we just didn't go to any Marinas :D

Anyways, I wish we hadn't forgot the shades as we both lost about a gallon of body water out of our eyes and she had to keep a blanket on to stay warm. Sun was out but it was only about 65 and our water is 43 degrees.

Tons of fun except the boat ramp. Tide was out 12' :eek: and the ramp was a pile of sea weed.

Went well tho.

I need 450 FT.LBS of torque and a Bravo tho, I know that now. :yes:

Looks like a good time Len! I understand your feeling the need for more speed...for now, I just try to run in bigger water...then it feels faster :biggrin: :biggrin:

I hope you can drag that thing over to Chelan...

Have you gotten your props yet? I am looking forward to hearing your testing results.

A friend of mine did the same, except for it was Van to LA. Took his whole family, said it was a blast! Also claims that lots of single women are onboard, this true? Think its a test to see if I'll take one of these trips!

Lenny,

I want your Donzi!!!!!

I made a Love Boat crack and his reply was something about wishing he found these cruises after his first divorce! Dates here are tough, even harder when I don't care much for our bars!!!
